Thanks for that info!
Out of curiosity, are you an active/keen Perl user?
Or just using TAP for testing your t3st Lightweight, flexible shell TAP testing library?
After visiting testanything.org for the first time just now,
it seems to me that Perl's humble little Test Anything Protocol of 1987 is more popular than ever!
Going from strength to strength.
In terms of programming history,
I assume TAP was invented by Larry Wall in 1987 (testanything.org history
does not say). Can anyone confirm?
Oh, and any cool references or anecdotes on the history of TAP (especially from the early years) are especially welcome.
Update: the testanything.org history page
refers to "Sam Villan’s historical Perl GIT repository" (without providing a link).
Anyone know what that is?
I wonder if it's a typo and they mean Sam Vilain?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
